Creature Corner

Creature Corner is where I put all the strange stuff I make. I have been sculpting and building creatures, objects, masks and whatever else gets stuck in my head for more than twenty years.

I was born in San Francisco and raised mostly in Humboldt County. I started with traditional sculpture, painting and illustration. Over time digital sculpting, 3D printing and fabrication became part of the same process. I do not really separate digital and physical work anymore. They are just different tools for getting an idea out of my head and into the real world.

Most pieces start as a quick image or feeling that I want to catch before it disappears. Some turn into creatures. Some become artifacts, plants, masks or weird objects that feel like they came from somewhere else. Creature Corner is the world they all live in. There is a bigger story in there, but I like leaving enough unexplained for people to make up some of it themselves.

The Process

I bounce back and forth between digital work and hands on fabrication. A piece might start in ZBrush or Plasticity, get 3D printed, cut apart, rebuilt, sanded, filled, painted and changed a dozen more times along the way.

I like bright color next to rust, grime and worn surfaces. I like clean digital forms that get handled and beat up until they feel like they already have a history. The process changes depending on the piece. I use whatever gets me closest to the thing I saw in my head.

Follow Along

I post a lot of the process too. Digital sculpts, prints, painting, experiments, mistakes, studio mess and finished work.
